Aryna Sabalenka opens her US Open title defense with a straight-forward win on Monday, defeating Colombian player Camila Osorio to advance to the second round. Both outlets describe the victory as “fairly comfortable,” with Sabalenka turning back Osorio after the opening match of her campaign.
The reports also place the result in context of Sabalenka’s recent hard-court run. Yahoo Sports notes that she previously completed a strong “Sunshine Double” with wins at Indian Wells and Miami after earlier setbacks. It adds that, despite that form, she has not challenged for a title since those tournaments. NDTV focuses primarily on her return to New York and the outcome of the first-round match.
